this book is every bit as good (but not twice as good) as vieler’s first one, Treat!, which i reviewed over here.

it’s another photographic celebration of that desperate doggy joy when treats are nigh

these! dogs! love! treats! so! much!

this time around, there’s less of an emphasis on the flappy jowls and comical expressions of treat-seeking mutts—FLASHING BACK TO THIS GOOFBALL:

here, it’s about relationships; whether between dog-and-dog or dog(s)-and-treats.

it features a wide range of breeds and an equally wide range of dogs’ reactions-to-treats.

some don’t seem to care about the proximity of noms

although those soulful eyes tell a different story

a story of LOSS and MISSED OPPORTUNITIES.

speaking of, vieler really missed an opportunity here to call this project THE HUNGER GAMES, because for all the doggoes who don’t seem to care, there are as many that care TOO MUCH, and in the wake of their clumsy enthusiasm, everyone’s gonna go home hungry

yes, there will be clonking

and sometimes the clonking will have teeth.

here is where i note that the author very responsibly includes a tip in his intro:

All dog pairs have been carefully selected. The depicted animals often live in the same household or have known each other for many years. Please do not try to take similar pictures with unknown dogs.

because in the game of two dogs, one treat—chaos reigns.

and back to relationships—some dogs are very good at gobbling, while their pal misses out

while some pairs are equally bad at this

and some seem to be treating the experience as a spectacle instead of a gustatory opportunity

OOOOOOOOHHHHHH

IN CONCLUSION, dogs:

IN P.S., his website is the best

IN P.P.S., GIFs:

this feels gauche, but when i announced i was starting a blog, everyone assured me this is a thing that is done. i’m not on facebook, i’ve never had a cellphone or listened to a podcast; so many common experiences of modern life are foreign to me, but i’m certainly struggling financially, so if this is how the world works now, i’d be foolish to pass it up. any support will be received with equal parts gratitude and bewilderment.
